I would love to review this article. –TC N7 JM 22:18, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

"rural land between Ellsworth, Kansas and Salina, Kansas." You mentioned in the previous sentence that the highway was in Kansas, so adding the state after either city is redundant.
- Fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Route description

There are three instances in the first paragraph in which the citations are not in numeric order.
- Fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Just after passing through Carneiro K-140..." This would read better with a comma.
- Won't fix I would say yes if it were like that, but when you take the sentence as a whole it sounds worse with the comma to my ears. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 00:08, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"After traveling 1.001 miles (1.611 km) through the city of Brookville..." This seems too precise. Saying it's approximately one mile using {{convert/spell}} will suffice.
- Fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Refs. 1 and 2 seem to be a bit over-cited. You do not need a Google Maps citation after every sentence. One at the end of the paragraph is fine.
- Won't fix I cite after each sentence in which a source is used because I do not use the sources universally throughout paragraphs. I use ref 1 for some sentences, ref 2 for some sentences, and both for some sentences. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Rural farmland" is redundant.
- Fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
First sentence in the final paragraph seems like a WP:OVERLINK violation. I don't think either pavement or concrete needs to be linked.
- Fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The preciseness in the traffic info...just...seems way too technical. Is it necessary for you to have high/lows for every single piece of the highway with measurements down to the hundredth of a mile? It seems like overkill.
- Kinda fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History

More numerical order errors...
- Fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:46, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"was established in the 1926..." And we live in the 2013. :p
- Fixed. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 23:46, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing concerning pavement. This road was first designated in 1926, so there probably wasn't yet a standard for paving U.S. Routes.
- Fixed. I added what I could...if there's any more history that could be added it's buried deep in microfilm archives of The Salina Journal. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 00:07, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you should probably throw Ref. 6 out the window. It's likely a SPS.
- Done, let me know if the new one is acceptable instead. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 00:07, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good to me. –TC N7 JM 00:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Major intersections

No outstanding errors.

References

No problems with dead links, verifiability, or plagiarism, now that the SPS is gone. –TC N7 JM 00:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Final verdict

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Inappropriate due to lack to images
Overall: My concerns have been addressed. I feel this meets the Good Article criteria.
Pass/Fail:
